Christmas Gift Ideas, Maybe?
Some gifts were great for yesteryear
But with a face lift they can reappear
Like that good old soap on a rope
Can now be: may I have the envelope
When cleaning below the ship’s deck
Now you don’t need to break your neck
Buy a mini submarine with soap
On a periscope
If your pet lion has bad breath
Don’t worry yourself to death
Now you can treat it with soap
On an antelope
A word of warning for new age fans
Even though it is in the soap plans
I would never take a chance with soap
On a cantaloupe
But if your foolish brother is
Never minding his own darn biz
Wipe him out of your way with soap
On a dope
If your friend’s health is on the rocks
Show him or her how to detox
Starting with the improved soap
On a stethoscope
A great gift to open a kid’s eyes
To be able to enjoy the skies
Is to buy them that neat’o soap
On a telescope
Lastly, for those who are pessimistic
And are in need of some optimistic
Grant their X-mas wish with soap
On a hope.
